Are you running tubes in your gas powered pickup?

Get the wolf paws, or anther form of snow you can always use a stock tire if you get a flat. Height is prety comperable I believe. Our 873 is night & day with snows in winter.

No personal experience but im guessing tread and sidewall flex for a decent contact patch is part of what makes the snow specific tires work so well? Snows with liquid would seem like a good combo. Add some radioactive chemicals (or UV Dye) to the fluid and leaks would be super easy to find.
